Bob, that's what I heard initially too, making me buy some. But the one page of data I did find (for .308) showed differences. It's close, and would give you a good starting point, but I wouldn't do a straight swap without working a load up again.

Is there not a bit on the label telling you where to email to get load data?

It's not my faulty, I was just.....
There is a bit of info on ukv site about vit factory closing down and some data on this new powder.
Hope this helps

I think they are closing down the part of the factory that dealt with military powder not the whole factory.
Chech out ukv as im sure the makers name is on there.

Do nothing, achieve nothing
Just read that HPS at Bisley sell it, but not on their website just Vit powders. I'll pop in when I'm next there.
Looks like there is nothing to lose by trying it.
UPDATE.
Reply rec'd back yesterday, confirmed my load and gave me a few pointers for loads in another rifle using Elcho17, which is identical to Reloder17, and TR140 with <160gr projectiles.
Email also said that they are adding another 6 powders to the range this year, the price difference makes them worth investigating/
Hi
Has anyone got a website address for these powders please. Manufacturer/importer etc.
Tried googling but not a lot of success.
Cheers. Thanks

TR140 i snot same as N140.
Speed wise it sits between N140 and N150.
in 308 Win
I have done about 2,000 rounds using it.
It is an excellent powder - I have an ES of 12 and SD of 6 with it using Berger Hybrids / 155.5 FB
It is my go to powder - and the best on the market bang for buck!
